hello again to all.
im using slackware 10. im going to set my PGDATA file to .bashrc as where it said in a tutorial.
but then i cant find .bashrc and .bashrc_profile files..
does anybody knows what shell default on slackware?
can i create this file alone? and chmod it so it'L be executable? how? whats the step?

please help..
